Yes, having hacks on your computer is allowed. The rule applies to this server, and this server only, what you do in singleplayer or on other servers we don't care. While we don't recommend it, having the hack running isn't against the rules either, but as soon as you hit the button to activate it, you will be banned.

Where can I build? Where can I pvp?

You can build and pvp anywhere beyond the border of spawn.

Where are all the trees?

In a server where fire, lava and even TnT is allowed, trees tend to be burned down near spawn. Trees are however also occasionally planted by experienced players. You can still find plenty of trees a bit off spawn, and you can also find wood relatively close to spawn in NPC mines.

Which ranks do you have?

We have only 3 ranks: Banned, default, and OP. Banned and default are rather obvious, OP is explained in a later section of this page. Essentially we believe each person should be limited only by their ingame skill and dedication, and that ranks create an unfair game where some people are automatically stronger than others. It is true OPs have more capabilities, but they are strictly restricted to admin duties, meaning they are not allowed to be used for anything while the OPs are playing the game regularly. Admin abuse is a serious accusation, and should be reported.

I'm starving! Where's the food?!

The spawning of animals in Minecraft is set to only rarely spawn animals out of nothing, so when all animals in a given area are killed off, it will take time for new animals to appear in that area. This has resulted in there being a lack of animals near spawn. If you aren't lucky enough to find animals, there are still other ways to get food, such as farming or eating rotten flesh. Starting out here isn't easy, but if you just conserve enough hunger to create a constant source of food, you'll have no trouble. (It takes patience!)

Will you make me OP?

Simply: No. OPs aren't randomly chosen here, if you really want to become an OP you'll just have to play regularly, and show a mediocre level of intelligence. We have a policy to permanently deny OP to any person who asks for it, as requesting OP is mostly just to gain access to the OP commands, and thereby an advantage over everybody else.

Is having hacks on your computer, but not running them (ie. a clean minecraft.jar) allowed?

Yes, having hacks on your computer is allowed. This server's rules apply to this server, and this server only, what you do in singleplayer or on other servers is not our business.

What mods are allowed?

See Allowed mods

Someone is claiming to be OP in the chat. How can I know if he's OP?

Unless the person is named [Server], it is just a regular player. Admins (real or not) talking in white text are talking as regular players, meaning they should not be given any extra authority or credibility. Any admin acting as an admin will always talk as [Server]. If an admin is warning you or ordering you to do something, they will always do so as [Server]. Any orders or threats given in white text can safely be ignored. Remember that lying and scamming is not forbidden, so there's nothing stopping players from pretending to be OP.

I suspect a player of breaking a rule, where can I report it?

You can report suspected infractions of the SimPvP ruleset at the forum's Report & Appeal section. Create a new thread, stating the suspected infraction and player's name. You must have conclusive evidence of your claim if you want action to be taken. Support your claim with screenshots or logs. Please provide a detailed explanation of the events that lead up to the incident so action can be taken if required.

I've been banned. Is it possible to be unbanned?

Yes, it is possible to be unbanned, however you must have evidence or a strong claim that your ban was unjust or misplaced. SimPvP has a zero tolerance policy for use of hacks or abuse of glitches, and getting caught with such programs active on the server is grounds for an immediate and irreversible permanent ban. If you truly believe your ban was unjust, you can make your claim on the Report & Appeal section of the forums.
